In addition to representing individual clients on a daily basis, we also try to protect the rights of all injured workers, whether we represent them or not. That is why each of the attorneys in our office is an Eagle member of the Washington State Association for Justice (WSAJ).

About Our Fees

We do not charge any fee for an initial conference and evaluation of your legal situation. Although we are able to offer a variety of billing options, in workers’ compensation and disability pension matters, our fee is normally a contingent fee. In those cases, our fees are contingent upon your recovery. If you do not receive compensation, we do not receive a fee. In matters where a contingent fee is not appropriate, we will bill on an hourly basis.

We believe our hourly rates are fair and comparable to those providing similar services. Of course, the fee arrangement is discussed before we undertake to represent you. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to discuss our fee schedule with us.
